A clean and widely used GUI for the panotools under Windows and Mac OS X. Shareware. (30 days trial, 65 EUR). PTGui has an enormous amount of features which implies a steep learning curve. For some of the features see tutorials section below.
User Comments
I've been using PTGUI for about a year now and I am very happy with it. In combination with Autopano and Enblend it makes for an almost care-free system that allow me to concentrate on the photography rather than on the computing. The user interface is intuitive although I miss the possibility to zoom on a section of the panorama and do micropositioning (keys to move images by one pixel in the four directions, rotate left or right by a degree, "shrink or expand" an image). Maybe a feature for future versions?
